Bye, Bye, Birdie (Young Performers Edition)

Young Performer's Edition, performed by our summer musical theatre campers. Running time, one hour.

Before Beatlemania, before Beiber Fever, came hip-swinging' teen idol Conrad Birdie (loosely based on Elvis), who, to the dismay of his adoring fans, is about to be drafted into the army by Uncle Sam. In Bye Bye Birdie, the 1950's rock-n-roll musical comedy, Birdie's agent, Albert and his secretary/girlfriend, Rosie, cook up a plan to send him off in style. They must write Birdie a new hit song and have him bestow "one last kiss" on a lucky fan, live on the Ed Sullivan Show. A town full of colorful characters including crazed teenagers, a jealous boyfriend, and a spotlight stealing father make for a rollicking good time. In addition to the popular silver screen adaptation starring Ann Margaret, Bye Bye Birdie is a Tony Award winner for Best Musical and features such beloved songs as "Put on A Happy Face," "Kids," "The Telephone Hour" and "A Lot of Living' To Do."

Everyone needs a tickets for admittance and the productions are recommended for ages 6 and over.
